2011 Madrid Procesos - Call for Artists Projects - Deadline: May 31, 2011

AVAM (Associated Visual Artists of Madrid), sponsored by the Madrid Regional Government, invites entries for a competition to select four artistic projects for inclusion in Madrid Procesos 11. This Open Call forms part of the Madrid Procesos programme, an initiative promoted by AVAM and supported by the Madrid Regional Government in order to improve the conditions experienced by plastic and visual artists as they produce and create their work.

This open call has two categories whose aim is to select four artistic projects:

Category 1: Madrid Procesos 11/ Madrid. The selection of two artistic projects which will be produced principally with existing resources in the Madrid Region during a period of approximately four months (July-October 2011).

Category 2: Madrid Procesos 11/ Berlin. The selection of two artistic projects for total or partial production in residence at the Karl Hofer Society of the Circle of Friends of the University of the Arts in Berlin during an exact period of two months (15 August –15 October 2011).

Participants:

Artists of any nationality or age may present projects, either individually or collectively. In the latter case, the collective must designate one member as a representative.

Projects:

Participants must present an original and unpublished project which is in the production stage or is to be partially or totally produced during the duration of the grant.

There is no incompatibility with any other grant for the same project, but this must be specified (when applicable) in the documentation presented.

The project must be produced primarily using resources available within the Madrid Region, with the various stages of this process to be visible during the entire duration of the Madrid Procesos 11 programme.

Benefits:

-The sum provided for the project is 5.000 € (Taxable Amount + VAT), which corresponds to the following: materials, stays, travel, insurance, production fees, authors' rights and any other expense related to the production of the project. Fees and authors' rights must be calculated at around 30% of the total grant.

According to the tax legislation in force, expense invoices must be received in full i.e. transactions subject to VAT including the corresponding deduction.

- Timely presentation of the programme of projects in the Madrid Regional Government's CA2M, the Dos de Mayo Art Centre.

Selection of projects:

At least 50% of the artists selected must either have been born in Madrid or be residents in Madrid Region during 2011.
